December 10 marks the international Human Rights Day celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which enshrines “the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being.” As we reflect on the call to stand up for dignity and rights for all people, we are drawn to the highly vulnerable population we serve—frail elders and people living with dementia, many of whom simply don’t have a voice. Let’s champion their needs together! https://lnkd.in/dxT7MJP #LongtermCare #ElderCare #NonprofitOrganization #Nonprofit
